15 signs that you're arrogant (even though you don't think you are)

I know I run afoul of a decent number of these ...
No one likes to be around an arrogant person since it is a quality that does not attract people. Yet some people may be arrogant and find it difficult to recognize it. Here are 15 signs that you’re arrogant though you might not feel like you are.

1.You are constantly late

There is nothing absurd in being or showing up late once in a while. This may be a bad habit on your part. However when you constantly do this intentionally, this could be a sign that you are arrogant because you seem to feel like your time is more valuable than that of others.

2. You interrupt others a lot

When you interrupt others a lot to show that you have something more important to say than what others are saying, it means you have little regard for the opinion of others and this could be a sign of arrogance.

3. You believe you are better than others

Whether in terms of your looks, intelligence or in your status you believe you are better than others and deserve to be treated better, this means you show a sign of arrogance.

4. You go out of your way to be right

You can’t just accept that you are wrong or that you can be wrong at all. You go to the extreme to offer an explanation for your being right. And after all is said and done you brag about this.

5. You think your status is more important than whatever contribution you make

When you want to take a job or a task you are focused on the title or the status attached to it. You are more interested in how the job will make you feel rather than the commitments involved.

6. When asked, “can you do it?” you always say “yes”

You don’t want to be looked down at. You feel like you are always capable and anytime you back out from a task you demonstrate a flaw.

7. People constantly tell you to give them an opportunity to prove their abilities

You seem to question everyone’s ability to get a task done. You believe you are the only one who can get the job done and thus people offer or plead for you to tolerate them and believe in them rather than stifle them.

8.You despise the weak

You can’t tolerate people who show signs of being fallible. If someone backs out from accepting responsibility and taking charge of a situation, you resent and despise such a person.

9. You have a hard time self reflecting

You find it difficult to stare at the mirror and see yourself for what you really are. You have a hard time to look back at your failures and weaknesses.

10. You love to be talked about

Anytime there is a discussion you like the discussion to be about you. During a gathering you want everyone’s attention to be on you. And if it is about a general subject you want everyone to agree to your opinion.

11. You consider people you don’t like as enemies or threats

Think of the people you don’t like. Do you consider them as threats to your perfect world? Does your blood start to boil when you hear their names or concoct reasons to prove that this person is an idiot?

12. You can’t stand people who are not like you

You want everyone to be like you. You find it difficult to speak positively about anyone who doesn’t measure up to your standards.

13. You have issues building relationships

People find it difficult to flock to you. Most likely the negative quality of arrogance has a way of turning people away. Arrogant people have a way of sacrificing their relationships with friends and other people for the sake of success or self gratification.

14. You shield your inferiority with a superiority complex

Arrogant people always have an Achilles heel, but this they do not want exposed or known by people. Thus they use an invincible front to protect their vulnerabilities.

15. You show false charm but beneath it exists some cruelty

You show false charm as a tool to draw attention to you. But this element of false magnetism can be easily recognized because you cannot sustain it for so long.

A number of posters here tick plenty of those boxes.

Such as yourself ?

1) Yes, although not deliberately in order to make some kind of grand entrance. it's mostly down to being disorganised, easily distracted and a bit of a fuckwit.

6) yes, although i do that because i firmly believe that no matter what the task is. there is always a way to get it done. even if the first way doesn't work,,,,try another way

as for all the others,,,,,no not really. at least i don't think so.

others might disagree

actually, reading the wording of number 6 does describe me.

i hate the feeling of ''can't''. in truth it does make me feel like demonstrating a flaw

To be totally honest, I think I struggle with every item on that list.

Some here may think that I aimed this thread at certain posters. I looked this up because I was concerned about how I come across, actually.

wow, according to that list i'm not remotely arrogant.

I wouldn’t say I was arrogant, stubborn someone
once said.
I don’t make friends easily and tend to be more of a
introvert than a extrovert.
I have mellowed with age ad I can’t be arsed with
Trolls or trolling. Better get that in before someone
who knew me before.

What's the difference between ignorance and arrogance...?

I don't know and I don't care...

lol!

I doubt anyone who is really arrogant would answer those questions the same way other people would expect them to.
